2007 Jack Mortland Racewalks
Sunday, May 6th, 2007
Eastwood Lake Park, Dayton, Ohio
Matt Boyles and Laura Feller won the overall titles in the main event, the North Region USATF 20 Kilometer Championships, at this year’s Jack Mortland Race Walks. Named in honor of Columbus, Ohio, Olympian Jack Mortland, the series of races awarded $100 to each of the individual 20k winners and $150 to the winning club. The host club, the Miami Valley Track Club, out of Yellow Springs, Ohio, with Boyles, Ed Fitch, and 14 year old Allie Berry took home the team title. Good thing too as the traveling trophy, in the last box of stuff to be put in the van, never made the trip. Thus it can remain on the mantle byCoach Peters fireplace another year.
Boyles and Feller, as well as the other 26 participants in this year’s event, had nearly perfect conditions to race. The skies were a beautiful shade of blue with the temperatures near ideal, in the low 50’s. The walkers even had a tail wind on half of the course. Unfortunately, when walking into the wind, the walkers had to face a constant gale with nasty gusts up to 25-30 mile per hour. This took its toll, especially in the 20k.
It should be noted that Patrick Stroupe, the NAIA Indoor National Champion from Central Methodist University made the qualifying time for this year’s USATF Outdoor Nationals in the 20k. He walked a 1:33:26 to finish second behind Matt Boyles.
15 year old Allison Chin won the 10k in 62:01. It was also her first race longer than 3,000 meters. Teammate Allie Berry took the 5k women’s title. For the men Rod Craig out sprinted Ed Fitch to the line in the 10k with Craig’s Pegasus teammate Don Knight taking the 5k.
A big thanks to the judges, and to all of the other volunteers who made this year’s event possible.
